Stratocumulus-Topped Atmospheric Planetary Boundary Layer
1998Marine stratocumulus often occurs over the subtropical oceans off the west coasts of the major continents throughout most of the summertime season when the large-scale subsiding motion is strong and the ocean surface is cold. This large-scale condition leads to a very moist, shallow planetary boundary layer (PBL).

Stratocumulus clouds in a changing climate
2015The clouds that form in the atmospheric region close to the Earth surface work as a parasol for our planet. Their primary effect is to reflect the incoming solar radiation and in this way to cool the Earth. Tlie more extensive and the thicker they are, the more radiation is reflected back to space.

Stratocumulus And Trade-Cumulus Boundary Layers
1994Abstract In Chapter 3 we explored the properties of dry convective boundary layers that form when there is a positive buoyancy flux from the surface. Under a variety of conditions, such boundary layers become deep and/or moist enough that clouds form within them.
